But apparently, this is a new one. The one that had been coming around had a little trip taken out of his shell and the neighbor kids put a little dot on the other one. They see those two every year.

Dude, I was shocked to find out that these box turtles are actually having a hard time back in my hometown. Between the habitat, going away and plenty of streets, they are considered vulnerable now.

Also, the made The Punisher Black for a bit in the 90s, not a Black man becoming Punisher but rather a melanin change. So, addressing this had been ongoing. worldofblackheroes.com/2017/12/09/c...

And where my comic nerds overlap with my political nerds, the Punisher relaunched last week and shocking nobody: the logo is no more.

@truthout.org on the long history of right-wing admiration of the Punisher:

Marvel’s “Punisher” Was a Hate Symbol Long Before Police Co-opted His Character

The Punisher has long been embraced as a classic superhero, but his comics spread reactionary ideology.

Spoilers (weeks late) for Season 2 Peacemaker:

I actually have to praise WB/ DC/ HBO because I immediately saw the twist in the alternate dimension.

That studio does very diverse casting and it was very clear that everyone they chose for those scenes were white.

So, good job?

If you are so inclined, take a bored national guard member to your local farmers market today.

When they are like

“I think this pastry is a little overrated but I can’t wait to get home to cook this pasta,”

well, then the truth about cities is out.

A pen and ink Oogie Boogie from this day in 2016.

I rolled a piece of an old tote bag in ink and used it to “stamp” the fabric texture.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Also, nerds, I think it’s a 1975, oxidized nose but it also smells rich. It’s 60 proof so I think it will have held up well.

I’d ask for the Monsoon Mojito sub rum for Teachers.

Then they’d say it’s prebatched.

But twist! That’s what I was hoping for— that means it’s watery and sweet.

So then I’d say, I’ll take the Monsoon Mojito, shot of Teachers on top, lemon on the side.

Then you know I got a decent smash going

It is however, accurate to say “it’s wild out on these streets.”
